Maybe your problem with #WashingtonPost is #Bezos. Mine? That it is making money albeit indirectly, off #identitytheft. Seriously, do YOU have any trouble telling which actors, one dead, one largely incapacitated, these two #AI characters were modeled after? Their kids ought to sue.

CW: that data breach of 153 million driving licences, good commentary
"From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it “age” verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we’ve been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Or maybe it wasn’t waiting. Maybe it was already happening. ...
"153 million scans of drivers licenses easily available based on this breach, with more being added all the time.
"... this should be a massive warning to everyone pushing for age verification laws. You can have a “trusted” company in the space who brags about all the certifications it has. It’s in “compliance” with the GDPR, the CCPA, and every other law. It is “transparent” about its “privacy practices” and how its “sensitive identity data is handled responsibly” and…. for over a year it’s been leaking all of those sensitive records.
"And it appears no one internally at the company noticed."

Cyber Attacks Exploit Legitimate Tools for Rogue Access
Cyber attackers are sneaking into systems through the front door - by exploiting legitimate tools and services to gain rogue access, with a recent dark-web claim boasting of 153 million stolen U.S. and Canadian driver's licenses. Attackers are finding clever ways to impersonate trusted sources, like IT personnel, to get inside and take…

As a consequence of this (huge) #databreach the victims will be asked (as it was the case with previous breaches) to be particularly careful and sign up for identity theft protection services.
That means that the responsibility for preventing negative consequences of data breaches effectively lies with the victim. #equifax initially even tried to sell credit monitoring to the victims of their 2017 breach; they later were forced to provide 4 years of free monitoring as part of the settlement. The #FTC even recommended to go for free monitoring instead of the $125 payout - which I believe very few people actually received anyway.
I think industry needs to be held responsible for these breaches, e.g., by contributing towards a free insurance for identity-theft victims.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@brian_greenberg/117201997266526749
Scanning of ID documents such as driver’s licence is common in Australia as well, including at most, if not all, clubs (which, let’s be honest have links to the underworld via gambling machines). Fortunately, banks and official institutions require 100 pts of identification and a licence by itself is not enough.
Still, if your driver’s licence is scanned for whatever reason, you ought to find out what happens to the scan and who has access to it down the line… do you bother to find out? I haven’t, so far…

Palestinian Arrested In Quezon City For Stealing Money Bag
For some time now, I have been monitoring the criminal acts committed by people who are present in different countries as foreigners. Here in the Philippines, a Palestinian man was arrested in Quezon City for stealing a bag containing a lot of cash from the café of a hotel, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin.
As it turns out, the Palestinian already has a history of committing other forms of crime. Could it be possible that, apart from violence and terrorism, theft and an obsession of committing crime are parts of the Palestinian nature?
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…
A 36-year-old Palestinian man was arrested after allegedly taking a money bag containing P5,020 and an empty cash box from a hotel café on Timog Avenue in Barangay South Triangle, Quezon City, at around 11:06 p.m. on Thursday, July 23.
The suspect, identified as “Ham,” was intercepted by hotel security personnel at the establishment’s exit after the incident was detected through the hotel’s CCTV monitoring system.
Initial investigation showed that the suspect entered the café and allegedly took the money bag and empty cash box without the knowledge or consent of the 24-year-old male cashier.
Recovered from the suspect were P5,020 in various peso bills and coins, the cash bag, the empty cash box, and a backpack.
Personnel of Kamuning Police Station (PS 10) later responded and took custody of the suspect from the hotel security personnel.
Further verification showed that the suspect had previous criminal records for estafa, unjust vexation, resistance and disobedience to a person in authority, use of a fictitious name, and concealing his true name in October 2025, as well as theft in May 2026.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Are there a lot of Palestinians living in your local community right now? Are you aware of the fact that a lot of Palestinians follow Islamic terrorists as their leaders? How many Palestinians do you think are present all over the Philippines today? Did you notice an increase of the number of foreign Islamists in your local community over the past twelve months? Do you think the national government is secretly allowing Palestinians to enter the Philippines as high-priority refugees with immigration in mind?

How to Protect Yourself from Scammers and Thieves at an ATM
Staying safe while using an ATM is more important than ever. Whether you’re withdrawing cash in Downtown Raleigh or at a neighborhood bank, scammers and thieves are constantly finding new ways to target unsuspecting users.
Here’s a practical, easy-to-follow guide to help you protect yourself and your money.
🚨 Common ATM Scams to Watch Out For
Understanding the risks is the first step in staying safe.
- Card Skimming Devices – Hidden devices placed over card slots to steal your card information
- Shoulder Surfing – Someone watching you enter your PIN
- Cash Trapping – Devices that block cash from dispensing so thieves can grab it later
- Fake Assistance Scams – Someone offering “help” while secretly stealing your information
- Phishing & Text Scams – Messages pretending to be your bank asking for sensitive info
🔐 ATM Safety Tips Everyone Should Follow
1. Choose the Right ATM
- Use ATMs located inside banks or well-lit, high-traffic areas
- Avoid machines in isolated or poorly lit locations
2. Inspect the Machine
- Check for anything unusual on the card slot or keypad
- If something looks loose, bulky, or tampered with—don’t use it
3. Shield Your PIN
- Always cover the keypad with your hand while entering your PIN
- Be aware of anyone standing too close
4. Limit Your Time
- Complete your transaction quickly
- Don’t count your cash at the machine—wait until you’re in a safe place
5. Stay Alert
- Trust your instincts—if something feels off, leave immediately
- Avoid distractions like using your phone while at the ATM
💳 Protect Your Card & Information
- Set up bank alerts for withdrawals and suspicious activity
- Regularly monitor your account statements
- Use contactless or mobile payments when possible
- Never share your PIN or banking details with anyone
🚫 What to Do If You Suspect Fraud
If something doesn’t seem right:
- Cancel your transaction immediately
- Contact your bank right away
- Report the issue to local authorities if necessary
- Freeze or lock your card if fraud is suspected
📍 Stay Safe Around Raleigh
With busy shopping areas like Crabtree Valley, Cary, Downtown Raleigh, and local shopping centers, ATMs are everywhere—but so are potential risks. Staying aware and taking a few simple precautions can make all the difference.
✅ Final Thoughts
ATM scams can happen fast, but protecting yourself is simple with the right habits. Stay alert, protect your information, and always prioritize your safety when accessing cash.
